James Sampson - Founder and CEO of File Invite

I had the great pleasure of speaking with James Sampson, CEO of File Invite - an award-winning, high-growth start-up revolutionizing the document collection space.  

James is a highly person-centric leader, equally impressive and affable - with an impressive ability to talk shop on everything from management strategy to tech trends to daily routines to time allocation to New Zealand culture and everything in between. 

A few takeaways from my conversation, include:  

• Leaders need to develop/grow faster than their companies 
• Startup leaders need to lead very differently - depending on the stage of their company (e.g., founding vs growth vs exit stages) 
• The importance of leveraging an OKR (Objective & Key Results) framework to set/track goals 
• Setting boundaries between business and familial priorities 
• The importance of being person-centric - especially as a Tech Leader
